Isaiah 42

Isaiah 42

Isa 42:1
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Isa 42:2
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

Isa 42:3
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

Isa 42:4
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isa 42:5
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Isa 42:6
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Isa 42:7
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Isa 42:8
I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Isa 42:9
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Mummy read this passage to me on Sunday. I like it so decided to post it up.
